Potomac

As its name may suggest, a large part of this community is nestled along the banks of the Potomac River. Potomac, MD is located just outside the Capital Beltway. It mirrors Great Falls to the southwest. In the 18th century, Potomac was a rural farming community better known as Offutt’s Crossroads. Offutt’s Crossroads grew in size after the Civil War and in 1880, a name change was requested and Potomac was “born.” Potomac experienced much of the same suburban growth that spread from the District in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
